Perhaps we can all agree that David Bowie + The Entirety of the 1970's = pretty much untouchable.

my first post was pretty ramshackle…
so here's a focused topic, inspired by Deltron 3030:

I, too, am a long-form loving vinyl snob. let's bump fists sometime.

oh christ and Station to Station. Hell Yes!

ok, let's discuss. the ones that pop immediately to mind are:

this probably won't inspire much discussion.
not at all.

TURTLES HAVE-A SHORRT LEGS, JUST FOR-A WAARKING!
let us not forget that Can has also given us one of the best, silliest pop songs ever recorded.

y'know, so your 20's and 50's don't get static cling.

man, I hate college.
this party has never once happened. anyone who tells you they go to parties like this is lying to you and themselves. This reminds me exactly why I live 45 minutes from campus and don't ever small-talk people in class.

maybe you suck!
